• Genome-wide meta-analysis of insomnia prioritizes genes associated with metabolic and psychiatric pathways. - Nature genetics (2022) · Watanabe K, Jansen PR, Savage JE, Nandakumar P, Wang X, Hinds DA, Gelernter J, Levey DF, Polimanti R, Stein MB, Van Someren EJW, Smit AB, Posthuma D · PubMed 35835914

  Insomnia is a heritable, highly prevalent sleep disorder for which no sufficient treatment currently exists. Previous genome-wide association studies with up to 1.3 million subjects identified over 200 associated loci. This extreme polygenicity suggested that many more loci remain to be discovered. The current study almost doubled the sample size to 593,724 cases and 1,771,286 controls, thereby increasing statistical power, and identified 554 risk loci (including 364 novel loci). To capitalize on this large number of loci, we propose a novel strategy to prioritize genes using external biological resources and functional interactions between genes across risk loci. Of all 3,898 genes naively implicated from the risk loci, we prioritize 289 and find brain-tissue expression spec

• Germline determinants of humoral immune response to HPV-16 protect against oropharyngeal cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34642315

  ABSTRACT: Although several oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) susceptibility loci have been identified, most previous studies lacked detailed information on human papillomavirus (HPV) status. We conduct a genome-wide analysis by HPV16 serology status in 4,002 oral cancer cases (OPC and oral cavity cancer (OCC)) and 5,256 controls. We detect four susceptibility loci pointing to a distinct genetic predisposition by HPV status. Our most notable finding in the HLA region, that is now confirmed to be specific of HPV(+)OPC risk, reveal two independent loci with strong protective effects, one refining the previously reported HLA class II haplotype association. Antibody levels against HPV16 viral proteins strongly implicate the protective HLA variants as major determinants of humoral response against L1 c
